How many of you weenies have kids (pre-teen) who ride and race road and mountain bikes regularly? I know there are a few out there. Youth cycling is really in its infancy in the U.S. By the time I return home, my son will be 12 and he really wants to get into some serious racing. But the youth racing calendar is VERY limited. It doesn't help that I have no idea yet where we'll be living.

This, however, only covers Mountain races.Velodrome and Road are often hard to come by: there is no 'league' or organized effort for youth that I am aware of. We are, however, working on establishing these things starting with a few junior-only-highschool-specific focused organizations and, in intention, trying to spur new and similar groups that will eventually coalesce into a league.

For the time being, some larger clubs - such as Velo Club La Grange out here in So Cal, or Major Motion, for example - have strong junior programs available.

Youth cycling really seems to be coming on in the UK- around London at least, there are a few clubs with a huge number of kids riding. Whether on the velodrome at Herne Hill or track at Hog Hill, there are a lot of children learning to ride and race- it's great to see
